HTGsupply carries the Gro Pots with handles. I am sure someone else sells them too

I like my Smartpots.
I like 'em better then plastic pots.
Something no-one has mentioned is that water doesn't flow out as soon as you put it in.
Smart Pots give your plants much better root growth,
and i have always heard that the better your roots, the better your plants end up.
Now about the Smart Pots being shorter. Does anybody realize that by being in shorter pots,
your plants can grow taller? That could be very advantageous for growers wanting to grow big plants.

Not exactly sure how you mean that?
Are you saying because the Smart Pots are 2.5" shorter one could grow his plants 2.5" taller than with the not-so-short pots?
I like a wide pot, so I voted for the smartpots. Oh, and I've used them before with soil and with coco, indoors and out, fwiw.
i cant say either way since i think a compromise more like square sized to not quite so tall (stability)
so 9x9 or even 9.5 x 8.5 around
the 10.5 depth would be excellent for single cola sea of green though hmmm, 3 plants/3 weeks on a 9 wk cycle?
*edit, the handles are a big draw
i have found, the more i consider that, the original size you suggestd does seem to have it's definite advantages for the SOG grower
stability concerns would be the province of the newb or someone who had to do a lot of pot-moving
so, the original material dimensions really are a dominating factor?
